Unpacking

Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely
that your power tool is faulty or that a part is missing. If
you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the
parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.

Preparing of the blower vac prior to use

for the first time This includes the fitting of the blow/vac
tube to the housing and the fitting of the collection bag.

blower / suction tube must be completely
mounted and screwed tight and the collection
bag and carrying strap must be attached.

mounting. The electrical contacts in the tube
could be damaged.
